A later ex-brat

Hi all, This all avid reading, I have lapped it up.

I now do nothing connected with a/c but Mrs 446 has agreed to PPL lessons ASAP, she agreed last Xmas but what a terrible year for learning.

Briefly, I was a crap-app, E&I fitter 216 entry Halton. The finest training I have ever received, but was not cut out for the bull**** so, when a new government decided that a 16yo ( 15 in my case) could not sign away 11 yrs of his life consensually, it was decided that any app could leave after 5 inc app time. It suited me but it killed the brat scheme.

We always called shoulder flashes "****ehawks" but I always thought it was meant to be an albatross.

Didn't like the crap but had some good times.

Keep it coming.
